Compounding Vectors in Adobe Illustrator

What is the main focus of this video tutorial?

• Compounding a vector into a single flat vector

• Creating a new vector from scratch

• Using raster images in Illustrator

• Exporting vector files

What does compounding a vector object in Illustrator involve?

• Duplicating vector layers

• Separating vector shapes

• Merging and flattening vectors into a single vector

• Converting vectors to raster images

Why might you want to compound vectors in Illustrator?

• To convert vectors to 3D models

• To increase file size

• To create a flat single vector for streamlined projects

• To make vectors more complex

What is the first step in the compounding process?

• Convert the vector to grayscale

• Delete all vector strokes

• Export the vector as a PNG

• Select the entire composition with the selection tool

What tool is used to merge overlapping vector shapes?

• Eraser tool

• Pathfinder tool

• Brush tool

• Gradient tool

What is the purpose of using the compounded vector as a stencil?

• To delete unwanted vector parts

• To export vectors to a different format

• To create new vector shapes for coloring

• To convert vectors to text

What is the first step in using the compounded vector as a stencil?

• Export the vector as a JPEG

• Delete the compounded vector

• Convert the vector to a 3D model

• Create a new artboard

What should you do after cutting out the shape using the stencil?

• Delete the original vector

• Change the color of the cutout block

• Save the document immediately

• Export the cutout as a PDF

What is the final step after compounding and using the stencil?

• Delete all unused layers

• Export the file to a different format

• Save the document as 'skull compound'

• Convert the file to grayscale

What will the next video focus on after compounding vectors?

• Exporting vectors to different formats

• Using vectors in web design

• Creating 3D models from vectors

• Adding CMYK and Pantone colors to the artwork
